Since my last post. I haven't given up on my journey. I've just realized it's a lot harder than it used to be. I don't know if it's because of my age or my metabolism or maybe I'm just tired of being hungry. At any rate I'm trying to take this seriously.
As some of you may know I recently took a trip to California to meet my new grandson. He is a perfect, beautiful little guy. Well I rode the train down there and back. That's kind of a mistake. It was a long train ride so on the way back I decided to get a sleeping car. Well they feed you when you have one of those. They feed you well. Along with champagne and free wine tasting. Let's just say my pants are a bit tighter since I've returned home.
I have decided it's time for drastic measures. No not a gastric bypass, not yet anyway;) I decided to join Weight Watchers online. I know, I swore I would never pay one of those places again, but I just can't seem to get started on my own. So I signed up for 3 months. My goal is to loose 10 to 15 pounds in that time. If I can't then goodbye Weight Watchers. I needed to do something. I can't afford to keep buying new pants and I can't get my wedding ring off. It seems to be growing into my finger, and it needs cleaned really bad. Hopefully after 3 months I can clean it. It is no longer shiny and sparkly. I can't have that.
So far, in the last 2 days I've been doing this, I've done OK. I really didn't have much diet food in the house until today. Now I have bananas, grapes, tomatoes, lettuce, celery and all sorts of goodies. I wonder how much of it I'm going to have to throw away? I'm making baked ziti for dinner tonight. I know it's not really low cal, but I'm making it meatless. That should help. Along with a salad and no bread. My husband may cringe at the thought of no bread, but he'll live.
I will try harder to keep this blog up to date on my successes and, unfortunately, failures. We all learn from our mistakes, at least that's what I've been told. I'm not so sure though...
